Server Blade Configuration and Utilities
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM provides comprehensive management of ProLiant BL30p server blades,
maximizing system availability and optimizing IT staff efficiency. HP SIM allows
systems administrators to quickly identify hardware failures, isolate and update
systems running out-of-date system software, and easily access onboard management
resources. In addition, HP SIM version 4.1 and above provides visualization support
for ProLiant BL30p server blades that allows you to quickly view the configuration
of the server blades within a server blade enclosure and speeds access to the
HP Insight Management Agents, Version Control Agents, and iLO remote console.
Diagnostics Utility
Refer to the RBSU user guide and run the internal diagnostics before performing the
following procedure.
To run Diagnostics Utility:
1. Download the latest Diagnostics Utility on the HP website:
www.hp.com/servers/smartstart
2. Follow the instructions and create a bootable diskette.
IMPORTANT: You can use the iLO Virtual Media applet to create the image file. Refer to
the “Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Management” section in this chapter. If you use this
method, omit step 3.
3. Access the server blade through the iLO Remote Console. Refer to the
HP ProLiant BL p-Class System Hardware Configuration and Installation
Poster.
4. Insert the virtual diskette.
5. Use the iLO virtual power button to power the server blade off and then on, and
to set the server blade to boot from the diskette image you created in step 2.
The server blade boots from the downloaded image and runs the Diagnostics Utility.
